If you have control of your DNS for mywebsite.net just add a CNAME for
blog.mywebsite.net and add a virtual server to your apache configuration.
I'm assuming that you control your DNS and your apache server.  More
subdomains would requier repeating the process.

Not much help without a bit more info on your installation.
